Judges and lawyers say labour troubles at Toronto’s South Detention Centre are slowing down proceedings in several trials, including that of accused killer Dellen Millard.

The jail has been plagued by problems since opening in 2014, caused in part by an ongoing labour dispute between the provincial government and OPSEU, the union representing correctional officers.

Millard finally entered the court at around 12:30 p.m. on Monday -- nearly three hours after he was supposed to arrive.
“I actually started in transit at 6 a.m. this morning,” Millard to the judge. “I didn’t arrive here until 12.”
OPSEU denies that there was any delay in transporting Millard to the hearing.

Rest in peace Tori, Tim and Jeremy."On May 6th, the devil led the vilest form of evil down my driveway and it smiled at me before it took Tim away." Good always triumphs over evil. Keep the faith, justice will prevail. .

(Could someone summarize SnooperDuper's post? Twitter link is invalid and I can't watch the video. Was the trial delayed?)

AFAIK there has been no confirmed statement about a delay in the trial regarding TB's murder, but the video linked above made mention there is delay of at least two weeks in the preliminary hearing for WM's alleged murder.

A suspect in the death of Tim Bosma is set to begin a preliminary hearing in Toronto on Monday on first-degree murder charges connected to the death of his father.

The elder Millard died in November 2012 and his death was initially ruled a suicide.

Jury selection for that trial is expected to start in Hamilton court on Jan. 18.
Oh course that date January 18th, being the date set for trial for the murder of TB.
MOO and HTH.

OPSEU denies that there was any delay in transporting Millard to the hearing.The province said there was a delay in transporting the accused, but that it was not related to job action at the prison.

So if not job action, why did it take 3.5 hours to get from the South Toronto Detention Center to the Jane and Finch Courthouse? Was Boushy there waiting in court too?
